Alarm at 06:00…. To Peet’s for coffee. A little conversation with her, then quiet. Outside, dark. Might as well be midnight. Kids asleep, enjoying this quiet. Quick latte drag…. Hear that rooster from one of the properties behind us. Need this. Quiet…. We all do. Time and it’s cruel speed, no longer seen as just…
Month: October 2026
Heading downstairs for a quick lunch. 12:04
Lecture I gave on MDU ACQ has me charged and electric, in fighter mode, anything I want I can get… just, FIGHT for it. No violence, just relentlessness. Designed destiny, sent to this. The barks, hardly on my harp – why, no hearing. Deaf to their clef… This feels like a spell I never want…
Coffee. Journal. Love.
Gratitude. Grateful for one element, then twelve. How it has to be. Eternally. And, poetically. This, the rewritten ME.
Paris, France.
Honeymoon, 2026. XOXOXOXO

All thoughts today logged. Lecture at 10:30… in the character of characters for this English Professor now Consumer Sales Trainer. 72 slides, in an hour. Will be sped of course, especially for a course that goes two days from those 72 PowerPoint frames. Excited to present, and in a sec will be writing some points…

Nurse into shower I tried to fall back asleep for 15 minutes or so, remembering what Dad has told me for years, that “just closing your eyes for fifteen minutes sometimes does the trick…” I smile thinking of his words, his counsel, instruction and insight. But… couldn’t fall asleep. So, up. Fed…
Forever.

12:11…. Rest. 13:59…. With the Speech people. Day, passing quick. The running theme with the Nurse’s daughters intensifies, one of them putting their name in the lottery for one of the bigger marathons. I’ll look in a minute, but…. Running. RUNNING. The new story, renewed. Today’s five miles, gripping and encouraging. Hoping for 6.3 tomorrow,…
Rain. A 5-mile run. And more gratitude and eagerness and hunger and love than I have EVER in my life felt.
Nurse’s daughters, K & J, and the Nurse and I, in a fitness collective effort. All of us running, or doing something for steps. Yesterday for this writer, that 3.73 run followed by a 1.48 cooling walk, then later after dinner with Nurse and K we rushed to the top of VV Parkway and back. …

Studying and practicing gratitude in this encompassing happiness. Writing… Stay tuned.

When I first wrote the date, I wrote 11/21. Yes, because this year and month and all of time is going by that fucking fast. 10:22, working at home, and already through much of what’s for today slated. Nurse at work, feels like it’s going to rain, and I’m trying to bring myself to a…
